Fanduel Review

With $10 million in weekly contest payouts and more than $560 million paid out to date, FanDuel is the leader in one-day fantasy sports. The concept of FanDuel was born in March of 2009 at SXSW in Austin, and three months later the company had its first paying customer. From there, FanDuel partnered with major media companies like Philly.com and the New York Post to gain more exposure and launched several more fantasy sports tournaments geared toward the serious player.

In December of 2010, FanDuel sponsored the Fantasy Football Championship with $50,000 in cash prizes, and the brand really started to take off in early 2011 with the first radio advertisement, a partnership with Sporting News and new office opening in New York City. Nearly five years later, the company has grown from five co-founders to more than 100 employees working on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.

Contestants who play fantasy sports games at FanDuel can pick from one of 30,000+ leagues each day and win their share of more than half a billion dollars that they have paid out since inception. Games include football (NFL and college), basketball (NBA and college), baseball (MLB) and hockey (NHL), and the company claims to have more players and to pay out more money than all other daily and season-long fantasy sports sites combined.

FanDuel went from paying out $10 million in 2011 to $400 million in 2014, an increase of 40 times in four years! And with fun promotions like weekly freerolls to the 2015 Playboy Baseball Championship – hosted at the Mansion with $750,000 in cash prizes – FanDuel continues to be one of the groundbreaking fantasy sports sites that is always trying to outdo the competition.
